Chapter 235: If You Can't Enter, You Can Send a Car (Fifth Update)
After half-time adjustments, Tang Tian's feel finally came back.
The lid of this basket was finally lifted by him!
Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.
Tang Tiantian scored these two three-pointers in the second half, and the Spurs played a 10-2 offensive and successfully overtook the score!
'Reggie, it looks like we got it wrong in the first half, he wasn't nervous and he wasn't affected by what Jason said.
Brin spoke.
"Yes, he just didn't find the feel."
Miller nodded his head as well.
If Duncan's four points in a row sounded the horn of the counterattack, then Tang Tian's two three-pointers directly pushed the counterattack momentum to a climax.
After the timeout, the Mavericks made a substitution, and Terry came on to replace Haywood.
The Mavericks came back with just two points in the second half, and Carlisle was clearly looking to improve the team's offense.
Kidd's playmaking up front, Terry continued to run without the ball through the pick-and-rolls of Nowitzki and Marion.
However, such a run did not allow him to get out of the defence.
When he finished running, Tang Tian was still following closely behind him.
Terry is not a player known for his off-ball movement, and Thompson was still denied a chance to catch the ball by Tang Tianfang, let alone him.
However, Terry obviously didn't just shoot the ball, he ran directly to Kidd's side, and after receiving the ball, he directly chose to attack with the ball.
There was no call for a pick-and-roll, and after Terry's successive dribbles, he opted for a sudden dry pull-out three-pointer.
That's what he does best.
However, Tang Tian had a prediction in advance and directly pounced on the interference.
Tang Tian is more than ten centimeters taller than Terry, and his arm span is not short, coupled with his prediction, he stretched out his hand to completely cover Terry's shooting vision.
Terry's shot is a three-way no.
There was a burst of boos from the audience.
John Terry was a great performer in the finals last season, but his form has dropped significantly this season.
And it seems that those saliva words didn't affect Tang Tian, but made him a little overconfident.
Tang Tian's words have proven himself to be a top-tier perimeter defender in his rookie season, and Terry is so strong that he is simply a gift.
Dio got the rebound and passed directly forward, Parker received the ball and scored a layup in the front court, and the Spurs overtook the Mavericks by 3 points.
The score to the field in this quarter was 12 to 2.
In the first half, the Mavericks played with the momentum of the defending champions, but this second half came back, and the Spurs played their strength to be the first in the West!
Terry continued to play with the ball in the frontcourt, and this time he didn't force Tang Tian, but beckoned Marion to mention the three-point line as a pick-and-roll.
However, Tang Tian stuck very tightly and didn't give Marion a chance to block and dismantle.
Terry tried several times without success, Marion was a little anxious, and directly blocked it, but was blown by the referee to move the block.
Another mistake!
The whistle on the scene is constant, this is the scene that should be the first to play the eighth in the west!!
The Spurs' frontcourt attack, Parker gave the ball directly to Dio in the high post, and then motioned for his teammates to pull away.
After Haywood went off the court, Nowitzki became the Mavericks' No. 5 position, and the Mavericks were obviously empty inside.
Although the old driver has no offensive solution, he has never been a good defensive player.
Dior leaned his back against Nowitzki and arched hard with his big ass.
Nowitzki was visibly overwhelmed.
Tang Tian also played a no-ball run with Duncan at this time, and Marion's assistance defense couldn't get by.
Dior hit the penalty area, arched Nowitzki straight away, wiped the board and put the ball in the basket.
When he was young, Dio was also a master of flying in the sky, but now, he is a master who eats on his ass!
The Spurs in turn led the Mavericks by 5 points!
Popovich had a smile on his face.
Tang Tian's two three-point shots were not as simple as scoring 6 points.
The Spurs' hammer tactics are very space-oriented, Tang Tian can't shoot as the main end point of the tactics, and it is difficult to play without a sense of space on the court.
But now that Tang Tian has scored 2 in a row, the Mavericks obviously dare not accept it, which is the reason why Dio plays so easily.
It didn't work for Terry to come up and be killed by Tang Tian, and the Mavericks could only rely on Nowitzki.
The old driver took the ball from outside the three-point line and rushed straight inside, and sent the ball to the basket in seven twists and eight twists.
After a long scoring drought, the Mavericks finally got the points back.
But in the end, Leonard's open cut was also scored by Dior's layup.
The Mavericks' interior really feels a bit of a fictitious interior.
Carlisle could only call Masimmi up and let him go up to replace Marion and put Nowitzki back in the number four position.
Terry held the ball in front of the court this time to find Nowitzki's block, but Tang Tian clinged to him and didn't give him a chance.
He chose to take the initiative to break into the middle of the range and take a shot.
Dior slapped him directly!
The audience on the sidelines watched the climax directly.
There is a heavy fog in the holy city tonight, and it seems that the jets will not have a chance to take off!
Terry couldn't get open, and the Mavericks' offense was all on Nowitzki's side.
Nowitzki's incomprehension is relative, last year the Mavericks said that they won the championship single-core, but Terry averaged 18+ points per game in the Finals, which helped a lot.
Now that his teammates can't help him, the pressure on his defense has doubled, and the decline in efficiency is obvious.
The game is still going on, but the Spurs have completely taken the initiative on the court.
The Mavericks let go of a wave of core rotation in the summer, but the main one was Chandler.
Chandler is the biggest barrier for the Mavericks inside, and this season the Knicks are still averaging 11.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game.
His role is completely irreplaceable by Heywood and Masimmi.
Without him, the Mavericks' interior line is really full of flaws.
In the first half, Tang Tian didn't open it, and they could still make up for it by helping defense, but in the second half, Tang Tian found his touch, and his weaknesses were completely exposed.
The Spurs outscored the Mavericks 30-10 in the third quarter and led by 13 points at the end of the third quarter.
And the score difference is more obvious than the situation on the court, and the Mavericks really don't see any hope of turning the tables.
The Spurs continued to work hard in the fourth quarter to defeat the Mavericks 97-81 and get their first win of the series.
The score between the two sides in the entire second half was 59 to 36, and the difference of 23 points was the real difference in strength between the two teams.
The Spurs' top scorer was Duncan, who had a big double-double of 25 points and 11 boards at the age of 35, Parker had 20 points and nine assists, and Ginobili had 11 points.
Tang Tian shot 0 of 4 in the first half, but shot 3 of 4 in the second half, 4 of 8 shots in the whole game, plus 1 of 2 free throws, and also scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
"I told him at half-time that if he didn't score in the second half, he would have to buy me a new car."
At the post-game press conference, when talking about Tang Tian's performance changes in the second half, Popovich also said very jokingly.
